25 percent of 20 percent of a number is equal to 250. What is the 35 percent of that number?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 i.e. 1750.
Let the number = x
According to the problem, 25% of 20% of x = 250:
⇒ 25% × 20% × x = 250
⇒ 25/100 × 20/100 × x = 250
⇒ 500/10000 × x = 250
⇒ x = 250 × 20
⇒ x = 5000
hence
⇒ 35% × 5000 = 35/100 × 5000 = 1750
